Singham Returns is a 2014 Indian Hindi-language action film written-directed by Rohit Shetty and produced by Ajay Devgn FFilms, Reliance Entertainment and Rohit Shetty Picturez. An uncredited remake of the 1993 Malayalam film Ekalavyan,[3] it serves as a sequel to the 2011 film Singham and the second installment in Shetty's Cop Universe. Ajay Devgn reprises his role as Bajirao Singham, while Kareena Kapoor Khan plays the female lead, replacing Kajal Aggarwal.[4]
The film was released theatrically worldwide on 15 August 2014, during India's Independence Day. Upon release, it broke several opening day records. Made on a budget of ₹70 crore, the film performed commercially well at the box office with a global gross of ₹219 crore, and stood up as one of the highest-grossing Indian films of 2014.[5]
Devgn reprised his role as a cameo for Simmba (2018) and Sooryavanshi (2021), the next films in the Cop Universe. In December 2022, a three-part series titled Singham Again began pre-production, and was released on 1 November 2024, coinciding with Diwali.[6]
